Membership limits are in place in order to comply with FAI Codes of Ethics for young people, and the sufficient participation limits that we can sustain considering that all our members now play in the local Sligo Leitrim Mini football structures. However, if enough parental assistance should become available, a session could be held to facilitate each age group, instead of the current one session for all. Registration forms can be downloaded from here
